Kiki's debut project, her second album adopted an even more slick, contemporary sound. The only place the more trademark traditional "churchy" vocals appear are in the vamp of "No, Never". Nonetheless, scores of younger fans have been introduced to both traditional and contemporary gospel influences through Kiki Sheard's work. The artist herself stated that her goal with this album was to take the gospel message to a younger generation through songs that have a "beat they can associate with." Accolades The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album in December 2006, and album won a Dove Award for Urban Album of the Year at the 38th GMA Dove Awards in 2007.
